The Iceman bass kit is a DIY mahogany bass kit for building a 4-string instrument inspired by the iconic Iceman shape, pairing a solid mahogany body with a Canadian maple neck and rosewood fretboard.

Build Considerations
An ideal beginner bass DIY kit. The mahogany body benefits from at least two coats of grain filler for a smooth finish; the angular contours require careful painting to avoid drips.
Assembly is straightforward: the bolt-on neck has no inclination, alignment is simple, and pre-drilling simplifies screw installation. Bridge posts are pre-drilled, removing the need to measure scale length or calculate bridge position.
Wiring uses a solderless system. Setup with the fixed bridge allows standard intonation and string height adjustments. The removable nut permits fine-tuning, and the flat neck angle eases initial string action setup. Browse more options in our diy bass guitar kit collection, dispatched from our UK warehouse.
